lyrics

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
On the streets, dirt roads, in the ditch ‘n dumps
I would hang with the bros just to drink so much
Had to stay with the hoes cuz my house was fucked

Now I know, I don't know no better
Burned up all my brain cells and my liver
Hope for more, cuz I wont cope with hangovers whatsoever
Take a sip, then another, I don’t give a shit
Wonder why must be a problem that I'm fuckin with!

Whatever its round two
That's what someone said
Gifted us the poisoned brew
I lost count again
Just another day ‘n night in the rez
Sometimes, I'm still surprised that I ain't dead
My body's wish

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
I was raised by the drunk bodies on my rez

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
Every day, hypnotic cuz I lost my head

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
And I wake up hunting out the bottle man

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
I don't want to but I gotta do it all again

I look like an idiot feeling so dumb
Everybody telling me I wasn't myself
Feeling like a madman on the microphone
Don’t wanna be a loco - Aboriginal for the north

I’m riding all of my people they always denied it
I’m am delighted
But we gotta get together before
The land grabbers they to ignite us
Divide us
War

Is that what you want?
I got my vatos, my brothers, my cousins, my people, they hunt
A lot of my buddies they are quebecois
C’est quoi ton problème?
C'est quoi tu fais là?

Only wanna be the one to make a stand
For the fans but then again
I'm alone in the rez
Trying to be a better man but I can't
Because all my life is planned

For the government living in struggling they making more trouble the law
Thinking there bigger dismantling people that only wanted to be more
I'm growing up breakin em boulders
Nakashutshiet, throwing out them phonies naketautshi
That be running and looking for trips
Headed for liquor not calling it quits

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk

I was raised by the drunk bodies on my rez
Every day, hypnotic cuz I lost my head
And I wake up hunting out the bottle man
I don't want to but I gotta do it all again

Yo raise up, days up
Remember the days when I had to wake up
Wondering why these bodies never gave up
AM, PM, had to stay up
(Stay up then)

Gave in, temptation
At the ATM where’s my pay den?
Booze gone, they don't stay friends
Yeah who’s wrong?
They just pretend

Been walking around all the bodies
Fuck around might catch a robbery
I was making bottles like pottery
Trying to figure out who I ought to be

Lost in the sauce, popping them shots
You getting the cheques and you get it on top
They getting you drinks, put in on the rocks
Stinky as shit, waking up no socks
(No socks)

And they thinking this is all we do
(All we do)
Yeah, chilling with the crew, have a drink or two
(Drink or two)
Yeah, everybody drinks this is real truth
(Real truth)
Everybody do it quit blaming natives dude
(Hell natives dude)

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
I was raised by the drunk bodies on my rez

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
Every day, hypnotic cuz I lost my head

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
And I wake up hunting out the bottle man

I was raised by drunks so I became a drunk
(I was raised by)
I don't want to but I gotta do it all again
